    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Xavier V is headed to Cornell, so I doubt NIL had anything to do with it. Merrill might be another story, but we know BC and BU poach those recruits that initially choose Harvard when they want to restock. And yes, money may be a factor there. You can add Thatcher Bernstein to the list as he...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    The only Harvard player left in the Stanley Cup playoffs is Colin Blackwell '16 playing for the Dallas Stars. Jack Drury skated for Colorado until they were eliminated by the Stars and Mitchell Gibson got called up to back up Logan Thompson while Washington was still in it against Carolina.

    Harvard 2025-26: Year Three

    About ten minutes after Trump announced the directive that Harvard international students must transfer or lose their visas, a good friend of mine from Dartmouth texted me and he had the same question as Robert Earle posed about the hockey team. Both the men and women have very few Canadians on...

    Harvard 2025-26: Year Three

    Damn, Thirdtime, you beat me to it! I was about to post the incoming recruits page from GoCrimson. Oh well... It looks like a good class - I was hoping for a couple of more forwards with blue chip potential. There's still a lot of work to be done and I'm not yet convinced that Bellamy is the...

    Transfer Portal 2025

    That's a decommit, not a transfer portal switch. The girl is an incoming freshman.

    Transfer Portal 2025

    Harvard doesn't use the transfer portal. They have a transfer policy that applies to all students, and they won't make exceptions for athletes.

    They certainly can, and if the coaches can make a solid argument for the player, admissions will listen.

    Harvard 2024-25: Once More Unto The Breach

    This is the difficulty in trying to dig out of last-place finishes in a conference. Trying to recruit a class that can change the culture is extremely challenging. Colgate managed to do it in 2015 and has not looked back since. For Harvard, Dartmouth, RPI, and a few others, it is an uphill climb...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    I don't think the program is shutting down. I think they are moving back to D-2 or D-3. So the players can stay and continue playing or enter the transfer portal in the hopes of landing at a D-1 program. Again, I don't see Harvard using the portal. The transfer process for Harvard applies to all...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    The transfer portal did not exist in 2006. Tobe had to go through the transfer application process that every student wanting to transfer to Harvard has to go through. Transfers get notified in late May or early June after admissions tallies how many students are coming in and how many are...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    It's not that they can't use the portal. I think it is more of a choice not to participate. And if I had to guess (given my history in working with Admissions), this is more about academics and the idea that these kids use the portal to move between schools like they are dropping and picking up...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    On an unrelated note, the Bruins signed Bancroft from Cornell even though he had one more year of eligibility. I'd like to see the B's sign Ryan Walsh now as well. Put a dent into Cornell for next season.

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Okay, so I'll take the bait and offer some thoughts on your rankings: First, the forwards. I don't think Tresca warrants being in the top tier. Yes, he's had injury issues, but he's not a top-six forward by any stretch. I would put him in the lower tier. We don't know anything about Will...

    Boston College 2024-25 TV * JG * MG

    Matt Davis owns you guys. Plain and simple. Had Devine not coughed up the puck at the blue line late in the second period, it would have been back-to-back shutouts counting last year's championship game. The other thing that jumped out at me was the physical play. I understand why BC wanted to...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    I was wondering if he would redshirt this year and come back next year. Harvard eliminated that possibility about ten years ago I think. They don't allow redshirts unless the student takes time off from school. I'm guessing that Kyle Aucoin is entering as a grad transfer, although his...
